Tough day today. After 20 years with the same privately held company, I got my pink slip. Yep… sacked, fired, corporate downsizing. Fkn Brutal.
More than a decade on the leadership team, it certainly feels like the company may be positioning itself for a sale & maximizing the bottom line.
Either way, here I am, in my mid-late 40s figuring out the next major chapter of my life.
* Also, please disregard any previous career advice I may have given. That milk did not age well🤦🏻‍♂️

I'm 56 and expecting the hammer to drop weekly... 26 years in the same business.

Rough one. One concrete thing: since you're over 40, a severance agreement must give you at least 21 days to consider it before signing, and 45 days if it's a group layoff. So nothing needs a signature on day one.

Best of luck in the future.

Time. The most precious thing you have, traded for what?
